LOTR Rip Offs - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

That "Legend of the Ring" thing looks bloody awful. I too, can't believe that there weren't any lawsuits. The orc looks like a costume that was rejected from the set of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" too (actually, I really like that show..).

On a whole other note, there's a movie that borrows all the concepts of the Shire, the Hobbits, and the culture of the Shire but actually manages to preserve their dignity. And it has nothing to do with rings.

It's called "Willow" and starred Val Kilmer. It was pretty famous when it first came out and it's still a popular, and well liked, movie for kids and families. I liked it, even if some of it is corny.

It's not a patch on LOTR, but then it's a comedy-drama and it was always intended to be a 90-minute film, so it was never going to have all of the thought, mythology, and literary flourish that LOTR has.
